Know Your Markets Before You Build Your Product or Service

Figure out what your market really wants -- instead of just what they're telling you. Learn how to follow through with the right product launched in the right way.

Objective

This two day session covers the strategy and tactics of Market Validation using a three-step process outlined in the book "If You Build It Will They Come? Three Steps to Test and Validate Any Market Opportunity" (Wiley, 2010) by Dr. Rob Adams. Only 35 percent of new products launched by established companies succeed in the market. That figure drops to 10 percent when you move to the start-up world. If you look at the United States economy alone, this translates into a $260 billion dollar annual loss around new product failures.

Market Validation is a proven approach to reduce the risk of product failure. In this program, you will discover the strategy and tactics of conducting Market Validation and you will leave with a completed plan to conduct this process.
